[QUOTE="Fire Sweep Ranch, post: 1170704, member: 18809"] Thanks everyone... Nesi,she was full term, due the day she calved (285 days). Lucky, thank you for that perspective. I never thought backwards... but that does make more sense. The calf was small, so she could have pushed her out herself in that presentation. Sigh... Sadly, when I walked out to the back pasture this morning to check on the group (2 more to calve in the next two weeks), that cow came running up over the ridge like she expected me to bring her baby with her, and kept mooing looking up at the barn. Now I am tossed at what to do with this cow. We bought her as a bred, and about 45 days before she was due we vaccinated the herd. She was the one we had abort because we use(d) a MLV vaccine (she was naive, and my vet and I failed to communicate with each other about the risks - I did not know about MLV's because we had always used it and he did not know she was new to our herd). Anyway, she bred right back (AI), raised a super calf last year, so I decided to put an embryo in her. So, now she has lost this calf. If we were doing this for profit only, she would be out of here...... [/QUOTE]
